Mysql Deadlock debugging

This command is only available to mysql superusers so log_innodb_status should check for errors.

Also, could you attach a patch created with git-format-patch? It's much simpler than adding a remote, fetching, cherrypicking a single commit, etc.

Jeremy, sorry I'm not terribly git-fluent. I've pushed a new commit with the error handling you requested to my fork but I don't know the exact patch command to do what you want. tim pope's "how to contribute to rails with git" page doesn't help either. Can you send me the command to emit a patch for a given commit? This prints out nothing:

git format-patch cb6aa8e8516cef55b81f6a061a3e87c6208cd553

Thanks Mike! Check out http://rails.lighthouseapp.com/p... for the skinny.

Thanks for the pointer, Jeremy. Patch attached.

One thing I forgot, the log_innodb_status method should be moved down to the private section.

I personally still would like this to be included. We're using this patch in production servers as a plugin, but it seems like it's useful enough to be part of Rails core.
